DHL eCommerce Solutions 是的物流公司德国邮政 DHL 集团的一个部门，计划在 2020 年投资约 3000 万美元，以扩大其在美国的业务并使其现代化。该投资包括购买其在美国的个全资搬入就绪配送中心和位于伊利诺伊州芝加哥的临时配送中心空间；加利福尼亚州洛杉矶；和新泽西州阿弗内尔。由于预计 2020 年假期高峰量增加（2020 年 11 月至 12 月），还计划投资自动化设备。在第三季度末和整个第四季度，该公司将招聘 900 名新的配送中心员工以支持其增长。
DHL eCommerce Solutions Americas 执行官 Lee Spratt 表示：“搬迁到我们位于亚特兰大的座全资拥有的美国大楼，这是我们非常自豪的时刻。“我们的扩张计划已经制定了一段时间，但随着今年电子商务量的持续激增，我们理解完成在亚特兰大地区拥有住所并在美国战略大都市增设空间的计划的紧迫性。”
这座占地 150,000 平方英尺的建筑距离亚特兰大哈茨菲尔德机场 20 英里，可通往一些主要通道，可实现快速的空运和陆运包裹运输。配送中心将处理国内轻量包裹。除了新大楼外，初期投资将包括一台每小时可处理 20,000-30,000 个包裹的分拣机。
“在 DHL eCommerce Solutions，我们预计这个假期旺季的电子商务量将比上一季增加 30-50%，因此我们对我们的足迹、机器和人员进行了必要的投资，以准备好为我们的客户提供服务并使本赛季取得成功，”斯普拉特说。
DHL eCommerce Solutions 目前在美国和加拿大拥有 19 个配送中心和三个公司办事处，拥有约 3,000 名员工。该部门 专注于为 B2C 在线商家提供服务，在国内和国际上运送轻量包裹和包裹。
DHL eCommerce Solutions, a division of the world’s leading logistics company Deutsche Post DHL Group, plans to invest approximately $30 million in 2020 to expand and modernize its operation in the United States. The investment includes purchasing its first fully-owned move-in-ready distribution center in the United States and temporary distribution center space in Chicago, IL; Los Angeles, CA; and Avenel, NJ. Due to anticipated 2020 holiday peak volume increases (Nov.-Dec. 2020), automation equipment investments are also planned. At the end of the third quarter and throughout the fourth quarter, the company is hiring 900 new distribution center workers to support its growth.
“It is an extremely proud moment for us to move to our first fully-owned U.S. building located in Atlanta,” said DHL eCommerce Solutions Americas CEO Lee Spratt. “Our expansion plans have been in the works for some time, but with this year’s consistent surge in e-commerce volumes, we understood the urgency of finalizing our plans to have a permanent home in the Atlanta area and additional space in strategic metropolitan U.S. locations.”
The 150,000 square foot building located 20 miles from the Atlanta Hartsfield Airport has access to some of the main thoroughfares for speedy air and ground parcel transportation. The distribution center will process domestic lightweight parcels. In addition to the new building, the initial investment will include a sorting machine that can process 20,000-30,000 parcels per hour.
“At DHL eCommerce Solutions, we expect to see 30-50 percent more e-commerce volumes this holiday peak season compared to last season, so we have made the necessary investments in our footprint, machinery, and people to be ready to serve our customers and make this season a success,” said Spratt.
DHL eCommerce Solutions currently has 19 distribution centers and three corporate offices in the United States and Canada with approximately 3,000 employees. The division is focused 100 percent on servicing B2C online merchants, shipping lightweight packets and parcels domestically and internationally.
